Kitchen Drain Maintenance Tips
Run Cold Water
Always run cold water when using garbage disposal and for 30 seconds after
Why: Cold water keeps grease solid so it can be chopped up and flushed away
Avoid Grease Down Drain
Never pour cooking oil, grease, or fat down the kitchen sink
Why: Grease solidifies in pipes and creates stubborn blockages
Use Dish Soap Sparingly
Too much soap creates buildup that can slow drains over time
Why: Soap residue combines with food particles to create sticky clogs
Regular Maintenance
Have kitchen drains professionally cleaned every 12-18 months
Why: Preventive cleaning is cheaper than emergency repairs

Kitchen Drain Cleaning FAQs
Why does my kitchen sink keep clogging even with a garbage disposal?
Garbage disposals can't handle everything. Grease, fibrous foods, and improper use often cause clogs. Even with a disposal, food particles can accumulate in the pipes beyond the unit.
Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners in my kitchen sink?
We don't recommend chemical cleaners for kitchen sinks, especially with garbage disposals. They can damage the disposal and pipes, and are ineffective on grease clogs. Professional cleaning is safer and more effective.
How often should I have my kitchen drain professionally cleaned?
For most households, professional kitchen drain cleaning every 12-18 months prevents major clogs. Heavy cooking or large families may need service every 6-12 months.
Can you fix my garbage disposal if it's not working?
Yes! We repair, unclog, and replace garbage disposals. Most issues like jams, leaks, or motor problems can be fixed quickly. We also install new high-efficiency disposals.
